    Went in for Sunday brunch. First visit to the restaurant. Decor and layout is very appealing. Open kitchen, which is fun to watch. Food quality was quite good and we enjoyed the flavor. But the quantity was not much as we expected. Service was the real let down. The server acted as if he didn’t really want to be there. He stopped by the table and took the order, but there was no attention to detail. Ordered coffee, but cream was not offered nor was it brought to the table until we asked. No spoons with the hot beverages. No salt and pepper on the table. Pretty average experience overall. I won’t be going back.

    My favorite restaurant but this was the worse experience. Waited 15 minutes to get seated, several menu items were not available, waited over an hour to get our food, the food serving was half the usual portion, and the chicken was overcooked. The waitress was very apologetic and informed us the manager offered a free dessert but we had lost our appetite by then

    The food is pretty good when they execute but often they fail to execute and have a lot of inconsistencies. Like I'm sure the food tastes pretty good in the test kitchen but not in real life

    When we ate on a Thursday evening, service was a little difficult. I had to ask the hostess to help with getting us a server to order

    You have got to try the gluten free Pepperoni Pizza and vegan cheese; and it was crispy and delicious! My husband really enjoyed the grass fed burger. It was perfectly cooked and has a distinctively robust natural beef flavor. The wait staff does an excellent job too!
